Alexis Hotel

Location: Ancol, Jl. R. E. Martadinata No. 1 North Jakarta It’s not really an hotel, it’s more like a bordello.

Ancol’s Friday Jazz Night

Location: Ancol Specialties: Friday evenings are dedicated to jazz lovers. As the sun sets, sizzling and sultry jazz begins to drift through the air. Famous and budding singers and musicians alike perform each Friday evening. Ermy Kullit and Mus Mudjiono are just some of the jazz greats that have graced the stage. Centered in the middle of Pasar Seni (Art Market), the stage offers a delightful musical backdrop to the area. Audience members shop, stand or, sit on the floor or benches as they enjoy the music. The relaxing and friendly atmosphere only adds to the popularity of this event.

Beyond Lounge

Location: Jl Iskandarsya, in front of Pasaraya Grande Lounge/club with house music. We got kicked out for no reasons, just after buying four long islands, because a customer (apparently the manager of Dewa) didn’t like us. I’m sure it’s good though.
